Chain Link: Benefits and Tips

I can’t tell you how many times I climbed a chain link fence during my childhood. Back in the day, when we spent more time outside than indoors, climbing fences was a normal activity for kids. I could have walked through either of our two gates, but my adventurous spirit preferred to climb!

Of course, my parents didn’t have the fence installed so we’d have our very own obstacle course. The purpose of our chain link fence was safety. They didn’t want anyone wandering into our backyard and falling into the pool, or getting bit by our dogs. Security, keeping your possessions safe and trespassers out, is one of the primary reasons people choose to install a chain link fence.

They also have multiple benefits over a wood or iron fence. If you’re “on the fence” about what type of material is right for you, consider the benefits of each one.
